Chrysalid

Unfortunately I have to start with some bad news... Crazy Cat died. He hung himself upside down and proceeded to turn completely black and soggy, like a little bag of ink (ICK)! At first I thought the discoloration was part of the process, but then BIG CAT did this--
This happened within a 24-hour period of time. It just stopped on a branch, attached a piece of silk to itself (if you look closely you can see it), leaned back a little and within 24 hours went from caterpillar to chrysalid! So amazingly cool. Now we play the waiting game! We still have Little Cat cruising around in there, eating ravenously and last night we discovered Puny Cat another teeny, tiny one! I just have caterpillars taking over my house!
